Nah, I can't see it either. What is it? If you want a monster machine, make sure you include some Scammells. The Pioneer is pretty impressive for a start, like the b*stard son of a Diamond T tank transporter and a Bigfoot monster truck!

Althiough those Leibherr mobile cranes are pretty impressive, aren't they? I take it it's something like that you're talking about?

Hmmm... Glasgow rush hour could be a laugh in it too. And I'd be doing mankind a favour, crushing those Saxos with huge wheels with the drivers inside. I'd get knighted for that! ;D Although I'm still a student, so I don't think I could get insured on that! |

Here's a sixties icon too! Top speed 1/10th mph on walking legs! Can you spot the tiny trucks around it!!  I love researching this book.  |

I love that thing.
Imagine parking it, you wouldn't need to find a space, just knock a few houses down and make one ;D

Try this one  An original "drag line" (you know, as in drag yourself home from the bar ;D) Built in 1901 and left underwater for 30 years if I remember correctly. I was riding around in this ;D  ;D |

Fantastic SkoCan, must have been a real trip!
I remember reading about these monster drag lines when I was a little kid but as they have gone out of service people have forgotten about them. I like to think that they were built out of a sense of optimism in the future and the might of technology. Today it's all smaller smaller, really inward looking, which is probably why we arn't still sending people to the moon and onwards.
Lets hear it for all things old, mechanical and monster!
